Unfortunately, I don't have time to do a full review of week 11, or a full pick set for week 12, but I'll pick the Thursday games quickly here. Then, on Friday, I'll post my results from week 11 (spoiler: 13-3 picking winners, and 9-6 against the spread), then do a full pick set for week 12.

So with that, here's the two Thursday games:

• Indianapolis (-9.5) vs. Detroit: The spread opened at 7, and apparently quickly rose to almost 10. Not surprising. No offense to keep Detroit close, and a defense that'll be overwhelmed by Manning and company.
• Chicago vs. Dallas (-3.5): There's an advantage to playing at home on a short week, and that should be enough for Dallas.

I've heard talk about how it's unfair for Indy and Chicago to have to travel on a short week to play on Thanksgiving. While I can see the point, I think this year Chicago has it worse than Indy. Indy gets a fairly easy game, and then an extended week off before their next game. Chicago gets the same, but the team isn't as easy as Detroit is.

Anyway, I'll be out of town on Wednesday and Thursday, so blogging will be light (as in non-existent).
